I for some reason took a look in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf. (Ubuntu insists on running ipv6 by default.) There was an anomoly: The new machine has 6 NICs, and while ipv4/conf had eth0 through eth5, ipv6/conf only had them through eth3 - just the first 4.
Just what _do_ you actually have in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf? Just 4 entries seems a bit spartanic, since there are also the "all" and "default" entries: # ls /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ all default lo rtl0 sis0 tun0 vmnet1 NAT-out device is sis0. Even if I add in a number of dummies, all remains normal: all dummy0 dummy2 dummy4 dummy6 dummy8 lo sis0 vmnet1 default dummy1 dummy3 dummy5 dummy7 dummy9 rtl0 tun0 It still works with opensuse plus 2.6.23. Well, I suggest you try a stock kernel.
Finally, is the Ubuntu Server project being boneheaded to even have ipv6 enabled by default, if it's still this far from being ready for prime time?
I would not say IPv6 was not ready.
Servers should be rock-solid at basic functions like SNAT out-of-the-box, IMHO.
